I seemed to have missed this previously. There is a gaming system around,
I think it is still in print, called Phantasy Conclave (tm, probably). It
uses a similar idea for its magic, battle magic being Red, nature type
magic being green, and onward. Each of its races also has innate magic of 
a typifying color. Ive played it once or twice, at conventions, but dont 
know of any group local to me that really plays it. The main thing that I
like about this system is that the people who wrote it formed a gaming
club, and will send one of their members to any group To Teach You How 
To Play It! It is very heavily into role-playing, *especially* on the
part of the dm... they suggest that you ahve a dm team, one to basically
act the primary roles, give descriptions, and generally run things, and 
one to act the secondary roles, run any npcs going with the group, help
with melees, and be generally useful. 

    If there is general interest, I will post more on this game. If you 
want the address, send to me personally and I will mail it to you.

I have no interest in this other than having played it 3 times.
